No disciplinary action will be taken against the four Sacramento State student protesters who were given misconduct notices two weeks ago. The students declared victory today after signing papers acknowledging they received a verbal warning.

The signatures do not mean the students are guilty but that they are aware of the university policies regarding overnight camping and free expression that may have been violated.

The allegation about failing to comply with administration’s directions was dropped due to lack of evidence.

Last week, Leonard Valdez, director of student conduct, started an investigation into the student’s misconduct allegations. The “Sac State Four” were involved in the overnight sit-in protest at Sacramento Hall April 13 to 16.

The “Sac State Four” are Yeimi Lopez, senior communications major, Nora Walker, junior history major, Amanda Mooers, senior sociology major, and Mildred Garcia Gomez, junior social work major.

“This is a significant victory. We can move on to the next battle.” Lopez said.

The students said they are excited about the decision and will continue to move forward in their efforts to promote quality education.

“We are free to continue organizing and fighting for education,” Mooers said.

Lopez said she is thankful for the students who showed their support in this fight.
